Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Neatham
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and a motor area thick with grease.
In a village or hamlet like Neatham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the quote in Neatham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Neatham
Which fire service covers Neatham?
Neatham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Neatham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Neatham?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Neatham.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report grease escaping from the fan
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Neatham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
